weighs bond to assist with funding performing arts center
By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The Johns Creek City Council discussed a bond referendum that would help finance a proposed $60 million performing arts center promoted as a cultural and recreational game-changer.
The council took no vote on the measure at its April 28 meeting.
Mayor John Bradberry proposed a funding plan that would include $20 million from the city’s cash reserves, $12 million from the Georgia Municipal Assocation’s Brick and Mortar loan program and $28 million from a voter-approved bond.
While no specific location has been decided for the arts center, it could be sited near the city’s walkable Town Center on Medlock Bridge Road to complement amenities planned there.

EAGLES 15, GLADIATORS 3
Milton tops Johns Creek in 2nd round of playoffs
By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com
MILTON, Ga — The Milton boys lacrosse team advanced to the Elite Eight after a 15-3 win over Johns Creek May 1.
The Gladiators initially kept the game close, but the Eagles stretched a two-goal lead at the half into 12 by the final buzzer.
Johns Creek attackman Brayden Ko contributed two of his team’s three points, including the only one scored by either team in the second quarter. Ko went down after a collision at the end of the first half but returned to the game.
Despite the large goal deficit, Johns Creek performed well at the dot with a 65% win percentage. Starter Will Dell’Orto was supplemented by junior Daniel Louw to secure possessions, allowing the team to set their offense.
The Gladiators defense held strong in the first half to slow Milton’s offense. Forced turnovers by sophomore Sam Doyle and freshman Drayden Giannelli helped to secure additional possessions when the Johns Creek offense struggled to hold onto the ball.
Milton exploded into the second half. Despite coming on a bit strong and having a period of two concurrent penalties, the Eagles defense held stiff and kept the Gladiators out of the back of the net even down two defenders.
The Eagles also did not turn the ball over in the last two periods.
The advantage had grown to eight goals when Milton went into overdrive, even denying Johns Creek a possession for several minutes of game clock in the fourth quarter.
Milton midfielder Jordan
Carrasquillo put up a hat trick and two assists against Johns Creek in his first game since being named to the all-state second team. He said working together as a team sealed the win for the Eagles.
“Playoffs, it’s win or go home,” he said. “We came in prepared, we felt like we were gonna own our matchup. In the second half, we got back into it and we played how Milton plays.”
Head coach Thomas Dell said the Eagles came out and proved what they knew they were capable of.
“Our intensity was the big thing tonight,” he said. “Our kids really turned it on with energy. Our seniors stepped up and played the way we needed to play in this second half.”
The Eagles turn their first region title in several years into a bid to the Elite Eight. They will face either Oconee County or Decatur in the third round of the class 2A state playoffs.

Milton girls dominate Johns Creek
By ANNABELLE REITER annabelle@appenmedia.com
MILTON, Ga — The Milton girls lacrosse team advanced to the Elite Eight of the class 2A state playoffs after a 18-6 home win over Johns Creek High May 1.
The matchup between the No. 3 and No. 4 teams in Georgia stayed close in the first quarter until Milton went on an eight-goal spree, shutting out the Gladiators for nearly an entire quarter.
Johns Creek attacker Rose Coluzzi led the team with four goals, getting it done on three free position shots. Fellow senior Madison Tredway struggled at times at the draw and the 8-meter arc, but she still got the offense moving in a leadership role.
Attacker and primary draw taker
Lillian Katula tied with senior midfielder Mckenna Merkel to lead the team with four goals apiece.
The Eagles went 69 percent at the dot with the help of Katula and fellow sophomore Caroline Marshall. Katula said matching up against a top draw talent in Johns Creek’s Madison Tredway was a great challenge.
REITER/APPEN MEDIA
Milton junior Kylie Waters looks to pass against Johns Creek senior Addison Pancake at Milton High School May 1. Waters notched two goals in the Eagles’ postseason win over the Gladiators, 18-6.
“I feel like this game gave us so much momentum with such a big win,” Katula said. “Practicing, staying focused, and putting forth full effort will give us what we need for the next round.”
All three Eagles on the circle were locked in each time the whistle blew.
looked to keep Milton off the crease, but Godby’s adjustments came smoothly.
“[Defenses] can’t focus on one or two of our girls or just one level of scoring,” Godby said. “Anybody is a threat, and we can adjust where we’re attacking from and go up high or inside. I’m proud of our girls, we can play anybody of the 24 on our roster.”
When the Gladiators defense looked to zero in on one attacker, another emerged with more to give. Milton senior Anna Mellinger notched a hat trick and two assists from the X, both distributing the ball and scoring on her own.
The Eagles look ahead to the Elite Eight where they will face either Oconee County or Decatur. Milton is looking to make its 20th consecutive Georgia state title game.
Katula and senior Ella Pauley each pulled down six draw controls. Senior Alyssa Monje grabbed three to add to her pair of goals.
Milton head coach Tim Godby said the Eagles are in good shape and feel they have a good handle on the postseason. Johns Creek’s defense
Johns Creek finishes the season at 16-4, the second-best in program history. A strong sophomore class in Avery Mathewson, Hayden Huston and four-star Sydnee Cane should provide the backbone. Claire Vane and other tough freshmen should also contribute as the Gladiators replace veterans in the goalie, draw and leading goal scorer.

UPS announces 20,000 job cuts
By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — United Parcel Service announced April 29 it plans to cut 20,000 jobs and shutter 164 storefronts nationwide amid ongoing changes at one of the world’s largest package delivery companies.
UPS is executing the largest network reconfiguration in its history. In January, UPS announced a deal with Amazon, its largest customer, to lower delivery volume by more than 50 percent by the second half of 2026. When its contract came for renewal, CEO Carol B. Tomé said it was time to reassess margins. The layoff affects fewer than half a percent of all estimated 490,000 UPS employees.
“While our building footprint is changing, our record of reliable pickup and delivery is not,” a UPS spokesperson wrote April 29. “We remain committed to providing industry-leading service to customers in more than 200 countries and territories around the world.”
The company’s first quarter revenue just beat Wall Street’s estimate at $21.55 billion, which was a slight decline from last year.
CEO Tomé told investors April 29 that uncertainty in global trade markets led to a drop in consumer confidence and some muted demand in February and March. Tomé also said the company’s reconfiguration is on track with 73 buildings expected to close by the end of June.
“By modeling different scenarios, we will be able to adjust to rapid shifts in the business,” Tomé said. “Given today’s level of uncertainty; however, we are not providing any updates to our consolidated full-year outlook at this time.”
UPS Spokeswoman Karen Tomaszewski Hill told Appen Media April 30 that the closing of brick-and-mortar locations and the layoffs are not directly related and are a part of the company’s ongoing reconfiguration. The decision predates President Donald Trump’s onagain, off-again tariffs.
In a statement, Sandy Springs Communications Director Carter Long said the city recognizes the impact of the news and understands their announcement creates a lot of uncertainty
“We are reaching out to UPS to understand the scope of the operational job cuts and potential effect on Sandy Springs,” the statement says.
“While the geographic locations of the workforce reductions are unclear at this time, our priority remains ensuring our residents have access to the resources they need through the city.”

‘Ma and pa’ store survives Sandy Springs bustle
By HAYDEN SUMLIN hayden@appenmedia.com
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Bob and Suzan Bourman moved to Sandy Springs in 1983 for the city’s strong public schools.
Before long, they established themselves in the community by opening a gifts and bridal registry shop, Fragile Gifts, which has become beloved throughout the city.
Fragile, as many residents call it, sports a 9,000-square-foot showroom with walls covered in classic dinnerware, fine gifts and stemware. About 25 percent of its business comes from its bridal registry.
The shop sits across Roswell Road from City Springs and the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center.
“It’s a little ma and pa store, and we still are an alternative to department stores,” Bob Bourman said. “What’s great is when you’re a little neighborhood store and you start meeting your neighbors and cliental ... to know them by first name is
not something you get at the malls.”
He said he thinks customers enjoy patronizing Fragile because they get things, like complimentary gift wrapping, that are hard to find in today’s world of online shopping and declining brick-and-
mortar retail service.
“We’re still doing it; we do it because we started doing it,” Bob said. “Now, people come here and expect we’re going to wrap … paper is more expensive, boxes, everything.”
impacts of trade disruptions and tariffs, Bob said they’re feeling it now.
“We haven’t been hit yet with tariff surcharges, but they’re starting in the first week of May,” he said. “Many of our vendors have already reached out to us, instead of changing cost process they’re just going to add 10-20 percent to every invoice that we get, which is going to make it tough on us.”
Pricing merchandise to match increased taxes on imports can be tricky.
“We’ve tried really hard to get our inventory where we want it to be … without overdoing it, not knowing what’s going to happen, so we won’t have to get too affected by the tariffs,” Bob said.
“If [vendors] are doing the melamine from China, they’re already not taking delivery in May on goods because the tariffs are 145 percent and they just can’t afford that,” Bob said. “It’s a touchy situation ... who knows what’s going to happen, people are scared.”
City Councilwoman Jody Reichel, who represents District 4 where the shop is located, said Fragile has been her go-to place for gifts for 30 years.
“Susan and Bob embody true customer service — always helpful, thoughtful and dedicated,” Reichel said. “I am so grateful for their loyalty and the special role they play in our Sandy Springs community.”

Melamine is an industrial chemical used as a coating in tableware and other common products like paints and plastics.
The game right now is wait-and-see at Fragile Gifts. Bob said he’s noticed a decrease in foot traffic while customer questions on pricing and tariffs has increased.

Bob said he hopes people, especially those in government, settle economic policies. Small business owners are paying for it right now.
“Big department stores can absorb some of that stuff, they’re still buying at better prices than we are,” he said. “We’re kind of stuck; we’ll see in May; I get three or four emails a day from our vendors.”
How it started
Susan hails from Charleston, and Bob is a Pittsburgh native. The Bourmans found a home in Sandy Springs, sending their children to Riverwood International Charter School and watching their grandkids play ball at Chastain Park.
Bob owned a series of athletic footwear franchises across Metro Atlanta in the early ’80s, which eventually turned into Lenox Mall’s Footlocker after decades of acquisitions and reorganizations.
“I was going to work for Nike, and my wife wanted to open up a little gift store in Sandy Springs,” Bob said. “So, I said, ‘Well, I got six months before I start to work for Nike,’ and here we are 38 years later.”
Fragile Gifts has moved a couple of times in its nearly four decades in Sandy Springs. The shop is twice as old as the
BUSINESSPOSTS
city, and the Bourmans have seen City Springs transform from an old Targetanchored shopping center into a retail, cultural and arts hub.
The Bourmans opened their gift and registry shop Fragile in 1987 at a small strip mall across Mount Vernon Highway from City Springs.
“We started in one, little 1,500-squarefoot location,” Bob said.
After expanding the shop to encompass the entire building, the couple moved to the Centre Court Shopping Center at Hammond Drive and Sandy Springs Circle.
After nearly a decade there, the Bourmans saw foot traffic and neighboring businesses decline amid fallout from the Great Recession and eventually made a move to its current location across from the city’s Performing Arts Center at the Sandy Springs Plaza shopping center.
“This will be our last location; we’re not moving again,” Bob said, cracking a smile and gesturing to glass home décor. “Moving this stuff is no fun.”
Before he drove off to make his grandchild’s soccer game at Chastain Park, Bob said he’s been really encouraged by the improvements to the city’s infrastructure since incorporation in 2005.
Just a hundred yards away from the massive project at Mount Vernon Highway and Johnson Ferry Road, he said it’s been a little inconvenient. As far as pre-tariff business, Bob said it was solid.

Find expert epilepsy care at Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center
Brought to you byDr. Ericka Bennett, Wellstar Neurologist
What is epilepsy?
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that is characterized by recurrent seizures and affects millions of people worldwide. These seizures result from sudden abnormal electrical activity in the brain, which can cause temporary disturbances in movement, behavior, sensation or awareness. Wellstar North Fulton Medical Center provides expert, specialized care for epilepsy.
The new The Epilepsy and Seizures Program at Wellstar, one of only a few programs of its kind in Georgia, provides comprehensive care to help people manage several types of seizures, including absence, tonic, atonic, clonic, myoclonic and tonicclonic seizures. The expert team surrounds patients with support
throughout their entire care journey, providing specialized outpatient and inpatient treatment.
Which types of doctors diagnose and treat epilepsy?
Diagnosing epilepsy requires the expertise of a multidisciplinary medical team. Each specialist brings a different perspective and skill set to ensure the most accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan:
• Neurologist: Performs initial assessments, orders imaging and begins treatment
• Epileptologist: This is a neurologist with specialized training in epilepsy. They lead the diagnostic process and manage complex cases.
• Neuropsychologist: They conduct cognitive and behavioral evaluations, especially in preparation for epilepsy surgery.
• Neurosurgeon: They assess whether surgical treatment is a viable and safe option for epilepsy that isn’t helped by medications.
• Nurse Coordinator: They are here
to help you navigate through your diagnosis and treatment. They can help with scheduling, educating you about your diagnosis and connecting you with community resources.
What is the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU) and how can the EMU at Wellstar North Fulton help with management of your epilepsy?
An epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) is a specialized inpatient facility designed to diagnose and evaluate seizure disorders. Patients are voluntarily admitted, on average between three to five days, for continuous video electroencephalogram monitoring. This comprehensive assessment helps differentiate epilepsy from other conditions that mimic seizures, such as movement disorders, fainting spells or psychogenic nonepileptic seizures.
Why is an EMU hospitalization essential for epilepsy diagnosis and treatment?
1. Accurate diagnosis: The EMU
provides high-precision monitoring, ensuring that patients receive the correct diagnosis and, consequently, the right treatment.
2. Personalized treatment plans: By analyzing seizure patterns, neurologists can tailor a treatment plan specific to the patient and their diagnosis.
3. Identifying surgical candidates: For patients whose seizures are not well-controlled with medication, an EMU evaluation can determine if epilepsy surgery is a viable option.
What are the next steps after spending time in the EMU?
Once the EMU hospitalization is complete, your epileptologist will review important data collected from the hospitalization, confirm the diagnosis, discuss if you are a surgical candidate and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.

Amazing tooth replacements
Brought to
you
by – Dr. Bradley Hepler, Atlanta Center for Dental Health
Dental implants are popular and effective for individuals who have lost one or more teeth. They offer several advantages and can significantly improve a person’s oral health, appearance, and quality of life. Here are the reasons that so many people are choosing to have dental implants:
1. Replacement of missing teeth: Dental Implants are used to replace missing teeth, whether it’s a single tooth or multiple teeth. This is important for restoring proper chewing function and maintaining the alignment of surrounding teeth.
2. Improved aesthetics: Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. They can enhance your smile, boost your self-confidence, and provide a more natural appearance compared to other tooth replacement options like dentures or bridges.
3. Enhanced eating ability: Dental implants provide strong biting and chewing capabilities, allowing you to enjoy a full range of foods, including hard and crunchy items without restrictions.
4. Comfort: Dental implants are comfortable and stable. Unlike removable dentures, they do not slip or move when eating or speaking, providing a natural and comfortable experience.
5. Convenience: Dental implants eliminate the need for messy adhesives or removal at night, as required with dentures. They function just like natural teeth, making daily oral hygiene routines simple and hasslefree. Dental implants are brushed and flossed like all your other teeth.
6. Durability: Implants are a longlasting solution. With proper care and maintenance, they can last a lifetime, whereas other options like dentures will require periodic adjustments or replacement.
7. Preservation of jawbone: When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone can start to deteriorate over time. Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots and stimulate the bone, preventing bone loss and maintaining the integrity of the jawbone.
8. Improved speech: Missing teeth, especially front teeth can affect
speech clarity. Dental implants can restore normal speech patterns by replacing missing teeth.
9. No impact on adjacent teeth: Unlike dental bridges, which require the reduction of adjacent healthy teeth, dental implants do not affect nearby teeth. This helps preserve the long-term health of your natural teeth.
10. Whole body health: Dental implants and no missing teeth contribute to better oral and overall health by allowing you to eat all types
of food without restrictions and eat a healthier diet. Filling the gaps left by missing teeth, preventing the shifting of neighboring teeth, and reducing the risk of gum disease and further tooth loss help feel and look better.
It is essential to consult with a dental professional to determine if dental implants are the right solution for your specific oral health needs. Factors like bone density, overall health, and personal preferences will influence the suitability of dental implants as a treatment option.
“Preventive Dentistry can add 10 years to human life.”
-Dr. Charles Mayo of the Mayo Clinic

Lifestyle changes can transform your heart health
Brought to you by – Emory Heart & Vascular
High cholesterol and high blood pressure are chronic conditions that can lead to heart attacks, strokes and other forms of cardiovascular disease. The good news is that they are often preventable. Most people can lower their risk by adopting a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy weight. Even if you already have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, you can make changes now to lower your risk.
The link between high cholesterol and high blood pressure
Cholesterol is a fat-like substance in the blood. Our bodies make cholesterol, and we also get it from food. You’ve probably heard of good cholesterol, known as HDL (high-density lipoprotein), and bad cholesterol, known as LDL (low-density lipoprotein).
Too much bad cholesterol can cause atherosclerosis or plaque buildup in the arteries.
Atherosclerosis makes arteries stiff and narrow, and the heart has to work harder to pump blood through them. This increased work by the heart leads to high blood pressure. Most patients don’t have any symptoms until their blood pressure is significantly elevated. That’s why high blood pressure is known as the “silent killer.” Before you even know you have it, the condition can damage your heart, kidneys, brain or eyesight and increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.
How diet and exercise can lower your heart disease risk
Routine check-ups with your primary care provider can help you keep tabs on your blood pressure and cholesterol. If you are concerned about your risk for heart disease, it’s time to take action with your provider.
Ijeoma Isiadinso, MD, director of Heart Disease Prevention at Emory Heart & Vascular, encourages people to consider following a heart-healthy diet like the Mediterranean or DASH Diet. The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber, vegetables, fruits and fatty fish and low in red meats and processed and fatty foods. DASH, which stands for “dietary approaches to stop hypertension,” is a well-studied diet that is low in sodium and scientifically proven to reduce blood pressure. Exercising and maintaining a healthy weight will also improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Medication can also help if your clinician feels that it is needed in order to control your blood pressure and cholesterol to reduce your risk of heart disease.
Some people inherit high cholesterol
It is important to understand that high cholesterol isn’t solely caused by unhealthy food and lifestyle choices. It
can also be inherited. Certain genetic types of high cholesterol can increase the risk of premature heart attacks and strokes. One misconception about genetic high cholesterol is that people will outgrow it. This is not true. People with this form of high cholesterol need medication, in addition to a hearthealthy lifestyle, to lower their LDL levels.
Ready to transform your heart health?
We can help. If you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, consider making an appointment with a cardiologist or preventive cardiologist at Emory Heart & Vascular. We can help you understand your risk for heart disease and help you make positive lifestyle changes.
